How to: Landmine Squat

  1. Stand with the landmine bar at your shoulder height, feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Engage your core, then lower your body into a squat, keeping your back straight and chest up.
  3. Push through your heels to return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes

  • Leaning too far forward
  • Not going low enough into the squat
  • Allowing the knees to cave inward

Modifications

  • Perform the squat without using the landmine for added stability.
  • Use a lower weight to focus on form.

Tips

  • Keep your back straight and chest up during the squat.
  • Use a stable surface to pivot on if you are new to the movement.
  • Engage your core to maintain balance.
